In nature, most all things have a beginning and an end. In this image we see evidence of both. Oh yes, I said the same thing in yesterday’s post. However, I will reveal that I had a lot of difficulty naming these images and I wanted to name yesterday’s “Before Birth”. and I would name this one “After Birth”, since that is what I saw in these images.

Of course, they are part of a tree trunk near our house that, sadly, I hear, is scheduled to be ground down into sawdust. That is very sad to me because I see great beauty in this trunk. Below is an image of the entire tree trunk after the tree was cut down.
